THE HUNTED (1948) in 35mm
Special Features: 75th Anniversary. Intro by Film Noir Foundation founder Eddie Muller, host of TCM's Noir Alley, on Oct. 14
Paroled after serving a prison term for her part in a jewel heist, Laura Mead (Belita) returns to the city looking to reclaim her life. Waiting in the shadows is her former boyfriend, detective Johnny Saxon (Preston Foster), who may have railroaded her into the pen out of jealousy. Is Laura ready to forgive…or make good on her jailhouse threat to kill the men who sent her up? THE HUNTED is a strange, hypnotic twist on the femme fatale tale, resurrected from obscurity in a 35mm preservation print funded by the Film Noir Foundation.
